“It has become clear for U.S. citizens abroad that the only thing worse than NOT being tax compliant is BEING tax compliant. The cost of U.S. tax compliance is that your U.S. citizenship will disable you from effective financial and retirement planning. The reason is that the U.S. considers most non-U.S. investment vehicles to be PFICs. The sale of your principal residence will be subject to a capital gains tax. Furthermore, the additional “Obamacare taxes” imposed on investment income will make the situation worse.  If you you own a principal residence or a non-U.S. mutual fund  and you sell it all the gains (and possibly more) will be confiscated.”
